Christmas Ornament Countdown: 7 Days Til Christmas

When we first got married, our plan was to draw a state out of the hat each anniversary and that would be the one that we would go to the next anniversary.  We now have almost been to all of the states twice so we got a little ahead of plans and soon dropped that idea.  But in 2001 we drew Oklahoma and headed there in 2002 (I’m pretty sure about these dates).  We never found an ornament on that trip and Robby asked a friend to send him one from the capitol.  He didn’t hear from her and decided to order it himself.  Well, his friend eventually came through as well and we ended up with two ornaments-though only one hangs on the tree each year.
